February 16, 2018 (San Diego) - The San Diego State baseball team kicked off its 2018 campaign in commanding fashion, defeating UC Santa Barbara, 9-1, on Friday night at Tony Gwynn Stadium.

Logan Boyer, a preseason all-MW selection, impressed in his first start of the season, going 3.2 innings with a career-high eight strikeouts. After Boyer started his evening inducing a 6-3 groundout, Boyer went on to strikeout the next four Gaucho hitters he faced.

November 3, 2016 (Cleveland) - Well, actually, that's not entirely true. The goat was apparently at Progressive Field in Cleveland throughout the entire game.

But tonight, he had no effect. The Cubs fought their way through the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.

But none of that mattered anymore. It all came down to fighting through the team who led the AL Central for most of the season, the Cleveland Indians. The Indians fought through the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Both teams had been through probably a bloodier battle than every battle in the Civil War combined in their leagues.

February 23, 2012 (San Diego) -- On Feb. 17, the San Diego State University baseball team began its 2012 season at Tony Gwynn Stadium on the campus of SDSU against the University of Washington. With the start of the highly anticipated season came a special honor. SDSU made it known that no member of the baseball program will ever wear the No. 37 again.

That was the number of former Aztec great and current Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg. That number is now retired.

October 23, 2009 -- I love baseball- in spite of the drugs, the drinking, the cheating, and the high salaries. But I hate the egregiously bad calls which affect the outcome of games, series, careers, and franchises.
